jedi_consulor Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 (edited) SHADOW OF THE EMPIRE FOR FORCES OF CORRUPTION by Jedi Consular Team Daft_Vader2shak41 01Lord of The Sith I thought I would make a place holder thread for the announcent of a new Forces of Corruption mod that is in development. Its called 'SOTE' Shadow of the Empire. This mod incorporates many features I did in my previous mod that I developed as a private mod. This public version is based on my Balance of Power Mod. Shadow of the Empire is set around the time of Episode V and continues on from there up until + 5 years later after Episode VI Features (Incomplete as its in development) Ship Yard Building (By tech level and by Required planets) Different level ship yards allow you to build different types of ship at different tech levels and at specific planets that have an affinity to building that type of ship. Landing Platforms and Air Bases To have ground Air units a Landing Platform and Air base is needed for production and for defence of the structures themselves. Imperial Prison facility This will increase production on planets that have built this facility. (only available on some worlds where cheap labour can be used) Golan Stations 1-3 Bonus stations for orbital defence. Must be un locked via other structure. XQ -1 -3 Stations Orbital stations that can give additional units and general light defence. Imperial and Rebel Warlords Like Vader bonus hero units can be requested. We call these 'Infringement Heroes' as they were not major heroes at any one time and only seen briefly. Orbital Space Port This unlocks Space Stations, Bounty Hunters, and Smugglers and even illigal technologies. depending on who you are playing. Realistic Scaling Many units in the game are re sized for more precise scale. Balance Tweaks Each faction and their units Land and Space are re balanced for better Star Wars Realism. For example Infantry are treated as cannon fodder even more paper like. Movie Lasers Laser projectiles are more movie looking - Long and thin with a whitish bit in the center - not short and stubby as in the default game. New Planets This mod will include several more planets such as Billingri, Mygeeto and Rendili, as well as Bakura and more. NEW GC Campaigns includes 3 new campaigns Expanded Space Units and Land Units Many new land units and Space units will be added to the mod for all playable factions in the game. (unit list not completed) Release Time: (No date set) maybe end of Feburary if I can keep up with the work load.. Thanks for reading Please NOTE: this is NOT the same mod as a recent mod calling itself by the same name. (Which used stolen code and my Mod's title) This mod team never sanctioned or endorsed such a mod and never released it. That team member has since left this community and is no longer part of my team.

jedi_consulor Posted January 20, 2007 Author Share Posted January 20, 2007 LOL I actually thought of the name from the game I played years back. This hasn't currently got Dash Rendar or the Sky hook in it though - I'd like to do them though - but there are no models for them really. The mod is play on the name anyway. But I'd like to add Dash Rendar as rebel minor hero otherwise. http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e99/drone_pilot/JC_Sig.jpg Sote Mod Website @ http://sote-mod.com/forum/index.php?act=home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord_of_the_Sith Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 The Black sun doesn't control any planet I think.It may have one in the rim sector or colonies sector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomada_firefox Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Ship Yard Building (By tech level and by Required planets)It probably will not be a very good idea because AI does not build these things and you will see less spaceships fighting vs you.

jedi_consulor Posted January 21, 2007 Author Share Posted January 21, 2007 hmm well my AI does I had the rebels building heavy ships the other day as they attacked Tatooine that was lightly defended - they came at me with a few MC80 Cruisers http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e99/drone_pilot/JC_Sig.jpg Sote Mod Website @ http://sote-mod.com/forum/index.php?act=home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedi_consulor Posted January 21, 2007 Author Share Posted January 21, 2007 Are you going to add Black Sun? no, and nope. I don't really see a place for them in the game. However As this mod is based loosely on Shadows of the Empire, it will feature Prince Xizor, and Dash Rendar as a space hero these will be coming up in the next beta builds when I get to doing them. http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e99/drone_pilot/JC_Sig.jpg Sote Mod Website @ http://sote-mod.com/forum/index.php?act=home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_of_the_Sith Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Hey JC if this mod features SOTE, does this mean new unseen units?You remember the game,yes?!There were some interesting units like special imperial units along with some others especially in the Xizor palace.How are you going to deal with this?

jedi_consulor Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 Shadow of the Empire is only loosely based on the name sake. It will feature Dash Rendars ship the Outrider though and Prince Xizor http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e99/drone_pilot/JC_Sig.jpg Sote Mod Website @ http://sote-mod.com/forum/index.php?act=home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomada_firefox Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 (edited) hmm well my AI does I had the rebels building heavy ships the other day as they attacked Tatooine that was lightly defended - they came at me with a few MC80 Cruisers AI build shipyards? have you attacked on one conquest a planet with one shipyard? I saw the shipyards on the fantastic SAU3.0 mod the first time and I add them to the Alliance Mod, next I was testing them on game on month or more and I never saw the AI build a shipyard, and there are more shipyards on SAU replaced to the gravity generator and sensor array but on original game I never saw to computer build them. About see rebel AI build two calamary cruisers........good, I think that AI has not the same rules that a human player, I wait that someday one man discover it.

jedi_consulor Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 I'll say again. This AI does apparently build shipyards. I appreciate your scepticism, but trust me it obviously did. There is no other way in the game it could have build an MC80B Cruiser - it has to be unlocked from a ship yard. It had also built other orbital structures too. It built a Golan I Station and an Orbital Space Port I added to the mod. With more testing we should be able to see how often it builds them, and how far into the game its starts building them. I think it was day 5 or 6 when they attacked Tatooine with quite a fleet - I was out gunned and had to retreat with a limping Admiral Thrawn http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e99/drone_pilot/JC_Sig.jpg Sote Mod Website @ http://sote-mod.com/forum/index.php?act=home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_of_the_Sith Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 The fact that the AI builds the other structures depends on some sort of scripting?More over can you post a shot of the Space port? I am curious to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedi_consulor Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 Yes it does involve scripting I edited several Lua files to get the AI to see Ship yards in the game so it can build them. According to some people they say the AI will build them anyway. I really don't think that is the case you have to edit some of the Lua files in order for the AI player to know what it is building. Oh the Space Port, I got that idea on these forums.. know idea how the other one will be like though but I image the development will be different. I have decided to use a XQ2 Space Station model as the model for the game. I'll post plenty of screenshots of the game in the coming days. I am just working on a few things at the moment. But the next beta will have the Outrider in the game I hope.

jedi_consulor Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 During this time period After Darth Vader failed on his mission to cloud city Vader was ordered to to work with Prince Xizor. To coordinate the shipment of materials for the construction of the Second Death Star. I was there for going to add Xizor as an Imperial Warlord (infringing hero) at the point were he was working with the Emperor, and trying to deceive people that Vader wants Luke Skywalker dead. So Prince Xizor would be added as a Warlord buildable for the Empire side. I don't necessarily have to add the entire Black Sun faction into this Story in the game. http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e99/drone_pilot/JC_Sig.jpg Sote Mod Website @ http://sote-mod.com/forum/index.php?act=home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_of_the_Sith Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I like the outrider. The tank is good but the skin could be even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikan Cyclone Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 A Xizor model is already in the original game, in case you didn't know. I have an ancient Pre-modding tools version on EAWfiles if you want the code. http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a245/loverdog/pffuserbar1.jpghttp://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i276/At-At_controller/leetspeak4cz1jr.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedi_consulor Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share Posted January 23, 2007 sure that would be cool Mikan please share the code. send me a PM ! I will most likely add Xizor as the Empire minor hero as I mentioned earlier - cheers http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e99/drone_pilot/JC_Sig.jpg Sote Mod Website @ http://sote-mod.com/forum/index.php?act=home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
